member or L i 3; The strip member i, which is construyted w 12: irioortfrom a strip of i'esiiient sheet metal has an m 1 attaching sidemarginsl portion a, tacked f orotherwise suitably secured to the sill Aof the casing 2.2; The strip is bent so that the mom. portion a thereoffroin the side an mrgina-i portion a extends iii, an upward Z5 3 imetimfrom the sill A of the From the outer (in if strip is boot to provideforwardly sud downwardly extending porcicre. a", said per Lion extendingliom the from of she pockel; back over and in from thereof and into thegroove 0 in the sill A and edoptcd to have free vertical movement orplay in said roove,

The other strip member l5 consists. cl 2, substantially fist lats orstrip of metal, said strip being tacked or. otherwise suio ably securedalong one side marginal portion thereol to the bottom rail of the sashwithin o rebbei a,

The sill strip normally extends cuiwardly away-from the face of the sillA3", as memos in Fig, l, of the drawing, window sash being in openposition. ii oeo the sash is moved izo closed. position so free edgeportion Z of the strip member l3 em gages the upwardly inclined poriiiona the sill strip, forcing the some downward until the curved portion aat 'i-be from of the pocket is pressed against the face of the sill. Thefree edge portion l2 colors the ocker, and fits lioli gl between thewells a -a' thereof, the speciel cozis sroction of said walls -aproviding for on extended close fitting engagement between the edgeportion Z and each of the wells (i -o along both the top and bottomfeces of iliccdge portion a. When she porcioo o of the sill strip isdepressed, the portion a so his free cndfcogiig'es the from; wall of thegroove 0 and through its coloncction wish she upper wall a of thepocket, functions to maintain izhe upper wall a oi": the poclrer inclose on gegement with the upper of the portion 3% of the strip lt willthus be seen illilb the particular construction of pocket, end portion(/7, co-scting therewith, provides a very eiiicienr. seal and weatherproof fitting. n in both the normal elevated position of. the sill stripl3 and in its depressed position the forwardly and outwardlyextendingportion a extends into the groove 0 in the sill. This portion 0: acts toprevent the entrance of dust or dirt. beneath the sill strip andextending from labs front of pocket over and in from of the some servesto protect the pocket structure. acts to support and maintain the upperwall 0&5 of the poclrei; in engagement with the upper face of theportion o of the strip ll, serves as so edditime} barrier against theentrance of moisture, air, etc.
